Downloaded it on my PowerBook here at the office, looks good, telnet 
works well, I have a couple questions...

Any way to shut off the automatic log entry for the latest spot? For 
instance, I see a spot, select it, it's displayed in the log, I 
haven't worked it yet so I don't want to commit it to the log, a new 
spot comes along and the log entry automatically changes. Any way to 
turn that off?

Any projections for a USB interface? I don't have any serial ports.

I'm not at home so don't have my Keyspan plugged in. Will this work 
with a Keyspan adapter for the serial port?

Seems to work very well. I patched my home node into dxclusters.dat 
using BBEdit.

What's the forecast for an interface for the FT1000MP?

Is that why it doesn't change my grid square when I enter my latitude 
and longitude?

Looks very good, Don. Looking forward to using it when it will work 
with my hardware.
